After an interruption of a couple of years, Saint George Hospital University Medical Center and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Balamand are resuming their Annual Conference with its XXIInd episode.

Come October, we will be hosting a diverse scientific program as well as a scientific exhibit, covering topics such as geriatric medicine, urogynecology, metabolic and oncoplastic surgery. The organizing and scientific committees have added a new activity namely a session dedicated to residents, fellows and medical students who are invited to present original work that they have produced under supervision and the 3 best of which will receive an award and a prize.

Renowned speakers from Europe and the U.S.A. have gracefully accepted to travel to our troubled country to deliver state-of-the-art presentations and updated information on the above-mentioned subjects, and to share with us their expertise in fields that continue to evolve and challenge the medical profession.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee and both our Institutions, I extend to you my best regards and hope that you will come, numerous, to participate and contribute to the success of this event.
